In Kalkata (Calcutta) we visited the Mullik flower market near the Howrah Bridge over the river Hooghly.
As we tried to leave, the barriers were put down across our exit route to allow a train through. Most of the 'locals' simply ignored the barriers and climbed under/over them to cross the tracks. When the train eventually passed by people were unconcernedly chatting away sitting on the barrier or standing on the wrong side .... quite an eye opener!

Oh my god how long is that train? Health and safety nightmare.
ReplyDeleteHealth & Safety unheard of in India ... not many motorcyclists bother with helmets, most cars don't have working seatbelts in the back seats(only compulsory in front seats), most vehicles are overcrowded - particularly tuk tuks with people hanging off the sides etc etc ... Suex
